Large business enterprises typically include computer systems that may be monitored to analyze performance efficiencies, such as for system optimization or error detection purposes. Examples of such systems are mainframe and personal computer networks, which may include queues for handling message requests. Message queues typically receive, process, and forward requests for information and services. Message queuing is a method of application-to-application communication, such as communication between an application that services a user and an application that retrieves data from a database. Applications may communicate by writing and reading application-specific data, or messages, to and from queues, without having a dedicated synchronous link between the applications. Messaging means that applications communicate with each other by sending discrete amounts of data in messages to some intermediary, and not necessarily by calling each other directly. Queuing implies that applications communicate through queues, which removes the requirement for both the sending application and the receiving application to execute concurrently and/or synchronously. In other words, the sending and receiving of messages is asynchronous; and there is typically no time dependency between sending and receiving, except that which may be imposed by the applications themselves.
